Epics

Epics are humans who were afflicted with super powers. The powers affect them in a way that changes their personality and destroys their humanity and believe themselves to rulers among men.

Epic powers range from weak, such as infinite handgun bullets, to total invulnerability and infinite energy generation

Use of Epic abilities causes the Epic to express extreme hatred. All Epics have a weakness, which could be anything, that deprives them of their powers making them easier to kill. The Reckoners use this flaw to kill Epics on their hit list.

However, the personality change, along with the weaknesses, came from Calamity's hatred for everything, so after he left the world, the weaknesses, and the personality change, which was known as the darkness, disappeared along with him.
